The essays collected in this volume cover a wide range of ethical theories and draw on a variety of issues in intellectual property law. There are a number of substantial contributions on such topics ranging from the justification of intellectual property rights and the ethical underpinnings of familiar legal concepts, to the ethical dimensions of the encounter between intellectual property law and new geographies, spaces and cultures.
